SUMMARY:Intro to Cursor: AI coding for beginners
DESCRIPTION:Join a beginner-friendly introduction to Cursor for Atlantic Canada builders. \n​This is a practical live coding session for founders\, students\, developers\, educators\, and startup operators who want hands-on exposure to AI-assisted coding with Cursor. \n​We will start with a short Cursor walkthrough\, then build a small useful workflow or app live. The goal is to make Cursor feel concrete: how to plan\, prompt\, edit\, debug\, and iterate without turning the session into a generic AI talk. \n​The session is virtual-first so people from Moncton\, Fredericton\, Saint John\, Halifax\, Charlottetown\, St. John’s\, and the broader Atlantic Canada community can join. \n​If there is enough interest\, the next step will be a smaller hybrid hack night or campus/founder session with a local partner. \n​Agenda: 0:00 – Welcome and why this is being tested in Atlantic Canada 0:05 – Cursor basics: what to know before building 0:15 – Live build: create a small AI-assisted workflow or app 0:45 – Practical patterns: prompting\, refactoring\, debugging\, and agent use 0:55 – Q&A 1:05 – Interest poll for follow-up campus\, founder\, or hybrid hack-night format

SUMMARY:From Survival to Sustainability with Matt Thomson from Placemaking 4G
DESCRIPTION:High-growth environments demand a lot from founders and leadership teams. The pace of innovation\, constant decision-making\, and pressure to perform can push even the most capable leaders into cycles of stress\, overextension\, and burnout. But sustainable leadership isn’t about working harder\, it’s about building the habits\, boundaries\, and self-awareness that allow both leaders and businesses to thrive over the long term. \nThis refreshingly honest and practical session explores the human side of entrepreneurship: the energy\, values\, and rhythms that quietly shape leadership capacity and business performance. Through real-world insights and practical frameworks\, we’ll examine how stress\, decision fatigue\, and people-pleasing show up in leadership—and how addressing them can directly impact clarity\, profitability\, and long-term resilience. \nTailored for the fast-moving tech community\, this workshop meets founders where they are—ambitious\, innovative\, and often stretched thin—and provides practical tools to build endurance without burnout. Participants will learn strategies to navigate high-stakes environments more sustainably while strengthening both their personal leadership and the health of their business. \nSession Takeaways: \n\nPractical strategies for navigating stress\, decision fatigue\, and people-pleasing;\nA framework for self-leadership in high-growth\, high-pressure environments and;\nClarity on the habits and structures that sustain high performance over time.\n\nMeet Your Presenter \nMatt Thomson is a TEDx speaker\, author\, and co-founder of Placemaking 4G (P4G)\, an award-winning firm helping organizations rethink how they hire and support their people. Matt shares his own journey of burnout and recovery to inspire others to slow down and embrace life’s pauses. He has been featured in the MARS Discovery District’s Portraits of Innovation campaign\, is a member of the Wallace McCain Institute’s Entrepreneurial Leadership Program (ELP ’16)\, hosted a podcast with listeners in dozens of countries and is proud to have co-founded the “Mounties for Mental Health” initiative supporting suicide awareness and prevention at Mount Allison University.
